Baztab
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baztab (Persian: بازتاب meaning reflection) is an Iranian, Persian language, Tehran-based news website. The English service of this site has published since January 2007.
Although Baztab is an anti-reformist website, it sometimes criticizes Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government's policies and mostly unveils corruption cases inside the government. Baztab is widely believed to have close ties with, (or even managed by) Mohsen Rezaee, conservative politician, current secretary of Expediency Discernment Council and former Revolutionay Guards chief.
Baztab was filtered and suspended for a few weeks in October 2005 for allegedly insulting the former Supreme Council of National Security's Chief, Hassan Rohani. Baztab's suspension was removed after the site's editor Foad Sadeghi stepped down.
2007, mid-february: it is banned again.
